Abstract

Entrepreneurship Education is the catalyst of unemployment in an emerging economy. A nation’s success depends on the creativity and innovation of its citizens. This study explores the relationship between entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial intention, focusing on the mediating role of the mode of delivery. The study employed a cross-sectional survey with 1,074 first-degree students from technical universities. The study employed IBM SPSS, and AMOS structural equation model for the analysis. The results indicate that entrepreneurship education significantly influences students’ entrepreneurial intentions. Additionally, the mode of delivery serves as a partial mediator in this relationship. In addition, the study discovered that more than half of the participants aspire to establish their firm in the future. To reduce unemployment and social disparities, all post-secondary institutions should mandate entrepreneurship education. Additionally, start-up hubs should be based at the tertiary level to support new ventures. This study is original as it investigates how the mode of delivery influences entrepreneurship education in technical universities within a developing country like Ghana.
